I'm not any older... but this is all I buy.. computer stuff and games. 360 is hooked up with VGA thing, but I hate it because connector isn't that good and the 360 doesn't support the common 16x10 resolutions of 1680x1050 and 1440x900.

Love that monitor Matt.

My pictures are currently uploading. I have a hidden inner geek.

Update:

So i have the pc, I love the monitor its 19" widescreen. The laptop....PDA.....Ipod (one of)

Theres also my PC that i built thats running Kubuntu thats hidden away. Its not hooked up at the moment because of lack of space. Theres also another laptop about but thats ancient. The other half uses it for internet. The internets wireless. Got the modem and router downstairs running Virgin Media (cough) 20mb << yeah right.

Oh and chucked a picture of the tv in with the ps2 and wii. Im a gadget freak!

Please ignore the carpet, waiting for laminate to be put down as theres paint everywhere :p

Yeah it's 22" widescreen, full specs are:

# Screen Size: 22"
# Screen Resolution: 1680x1050
# Response Time: 5ms
# Brightness: 300cd/m2
# Contrast: 3000:1 (Dynamic Contrast)
# Viewing Angle: 160°h / 160°v
# HD Ready 1080i 720p
# Interface: HDMI, VGA D-Sub, CVBS (Composite), S-Video, Component, SCART, PC Audio In/Out, RF Antenna Connection
# Built in Analogue Tv Tuner: Yes
# Remote Control: Yes
# HDCP Compatible: Yes

I bought it because I wanted a big computer screen and a TV - a 16:9 TV screen would have a lower resolution and isn't as good at displaying text and PC images. That TV was a great compromise. Plus I love the fact is has so many input options

Hehe I have a few too many gadgets too, and I have Virgin Media Broadband (4Mbps) - although I only really get that speed at times, not 100% of the time.

What type of modem have you got? I work for them so might be able to get you a new one if you need it

Matt555 · 06-07-2007, 12:46 PM

Off Topic:

Got my screen connected to aerial and Acer laptop - am waiting for cables and an adapter for my Macbook so I can run that through it as well when I want to

rimmer · 08-07-2007, 01:12 AM

cool stuff there. But why buy a laptop to connect to output displays? Just use a PC tower in my opinion

Matt555 · 08-07-2007, 01:16 AM

I didn't buy the laptop for that, I bought the laptop back in September for University, and if I could sell my laptop I would and I'd build a PC, but I can't sell my laptop (personal reasons).

rimmer · 10-07-2007, 10:03 PM

woa, nutter, how many PCs? Do you use them as a Network Attached Storage or something?

thomas234 · 11-07-2007, 03:18 PM

Nah I normally only use 3 of them (not the 2 ancient ones).

They've accumulated over the years from various places.

rimmer · 15-07-2007, 10:09 PM
